Thousands were turned away from a Trump Rally today in Columbus Ohio as it appears the political arm of the DNC, via the Democrat Mayor Andrew Ginther, and Democrat Fire Marshal Kevin O’Conner, blocked attendance to the Trump event.
Moments before going on stage to a restricted audience of 1,000, Donald Trump informed the media of the political manipulation
Research indicates Trump is entirely correct. Against the backdrop of lackluster visible support for Hillary Clinton last weekend in Ohio, it appears there are political efforts underway to avoid the stark contrast of her opponent Donald Trump Rallying with thousands.
The venue is the Greater Columbus Convention Center – “Exhibit Hall E”. And has a banquet seating capacity (tables and chairs) of 4,140.

Columbus Assistant Fire Chief Jim Cannell said fire officials met with Trump’s staff
on Friday to inform them audience capacity was restricted due to nearby exits being blocked
by construction on the north side of the building.
He shrugged off Trump’s criticism. “We don’t get caught up in that ... we’re just doing our job.”
John Page, general manager of the convention center, confirmed what Cannell said and
added that an earlier Trump rally was in a larger space before construction began.
“Does the governor have the power to suspend or fire a public official as they do in Florida?”
It’s Ohio. You know who the Governor of Ohio is, right?
Oh, that’s disgusting. Imprison the lot.
Great find! Looks like the Fire Marshall might find his ass on fire very soon via a lawsuit.
Looks like a few FR commentators should look before they leap. There might not be a net in which to jump.
“Like a gay proctologist”, lol.
All of Colorado Republicans should be LIVID for their own GOP party machine using underhanded tricks to prevent voters from exercising their rights ..... (you get the idea)
Still waiting for any fall out (crickets so far).
Heard this morning on Fox and FRiends, it reported that the fire marshal NOW says he THOUGHT the capacity of the venue was 1000.
Bravo Sierra he “thought.”
We ought to drag Kasich into the ill treatment. He’s setting the tone of anti-democracy in Ohio.
